Liu Qingcao made up her mind and went back from the factory shed. Not long after lunch, Liu Qingcao went to find Jiang Dafu. Jiang Dafu's injury was slightly milder, and he took care of it for a while, and his health has improved a lot.

Pan Yong was seriously injured, but under the nourishment of her sporadic spiritual spring water, he was almost able to move around slowly.

"Brother Jiang, are you in good shape, so you can carry heavy things?"

When Liu Qingcao entered the door, she carried Jiang Dafu with a large bundle of firewood, and was about to walk into the house. Liu Qingcao frowned slightly, and stepped forward to pick up a few pieces with concern.

Jiang Dafu smiled, raised his leg and swung it twice, and spoke in a good mood.

"It's a good morning, but the potion was bought at a high price. If it's still not good, I'm going to talk to the doctor."

"Okay, I'd better pay more attention to my body, especially don't catch cold."

Seeing that he was really thorough, Liu Qingcao didn't stop him anymore, and put the firewood into the brazier in the lobby with him, clapped his hands, and sat on the chair.

Li Shumei sat in the main seat, watching Liu Qingcao raised her lips and smiled, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Qingcao, is there something to do here today?"

"Oh, yes, Qingcao, why are you here?" Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao and asked.

"Aunt Li, Brother Jiang, I am here this time to recruit people to open up wasteland. The price is the same as last time. Adults are 150 yuan per mu, and children are [-] yuan a day."

"Open up wasteland? The two hundred acres of wasteland?"

"Yes, Aunt Li, if it doesn't come out this winter, it will be too late next spring."

Liu Qingcao nodded and asked the question.

Li Shumei and Jiang Dafu also nodded in agreement. If such a large piece of wasteland is not cleared out at this time, every household will be busy with their own land in the spring of next year, and they will have no resources to earn this money.

"That's the reason, then tell Dafu, I'll go to the back room to rest for a while."

Li Shumei didn't want to interfere too much with Jiang Dafu's judgment, so she greeted her and got up and went back to the house.

Liu Qingcao looked at this wise woman with admiration from the bottom of her heart.

After Li Shumei left, the two of them were left in the lobby. After a moment of pause, Liu Qingcao expressed her thoughts.

"Brother Jiang, when I went to deliver goods today, I saw many little beggars huddled in every corner of the market. This winter, it's so cold that they might not be able to survive. I want to help them."

Jiang Dafu was shocked after hearing Liu Qingcao's words, and then he was relieved.

This was not the first time he had seen Liu Qingcao do this, but thinking of those children in the town, Jiang Dafu still wanted to remind him.

"Qingcao, the number of beggars in the town is not the same as that of Sanshan, you have to think about it.

Moreover, how do we call them here without attracting others' attention? This is a difficult problem. "

Liu Qingcao nodded, acknowledging Jiang Dafu's question.

The crops in the fields of Shihe Village cannot be exposed to people's eyes.

It's autumn ahead, and when people outside see it, they just think that they are vegetable seedlings that won't survive the winter, and won't go into details.

If it was winter at this moment, when the green in the field should be frozen to death, and suddenly found the green things in the field of Shihe Village, I was afraid that they would come and dig them away overnight.

Thinking of this difficult question, both of them fell silent.

After a while, Liu Qingcao's eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly.

"Brother Jiang, let's go to the town once in a while and bring back these children one by one while there are few black people in the sky. What do you think of this method?"

Jiang Dafu nodded, thinking that Liu Qingcao's method is feasible, but...

"But Qingcao, these children, how are you going to persuade them to come back with us without making a fuss?"

"Brother Jiang, they are already dizzy from hunger, numb and shivering from the cold, as long as they are given some food, they will be willing to come back with us."

"What Qingcao said is that if it were me, I would choose to follow, even if I don't know whether this person is good or bad."

Jiang Dafu took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.

"Then let's go for breakfast and dinner, and I'll go back and prepare some food, which will be useful later."

"Okay, then you go to work first, I will eat first, and I will wait for you at home after eating."

Jiang Dafu nodded, sent Liu Qingcao out, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Liu Qingcao returned home and called Chen Cuizhi, who made clothes, to help her prepare food.

It is too late to make steamed buns, but there is still enough time to make some pancakes and rice balls.

The two of them worked non-stop in the kitchen for an hour and a half, consuming nearly [-] catties of flour and ten catties of rice to make enough pancakes and rice balls.

Liu Qingcao and Chen Cuizhi carried the food to the ox cart, surrounded the barrel with old quilts, added some grain and grass around, and then drove the ox cart to Jiang's house.

After Chen Cuizhi handed over the ox cart to Jiang Dafu, she hurried home to prepare for what Liu Qingcao had told her.

When the two ox carts swayed to Qianfeng Town, the sun had almost dipped to the horizon, and there were very few pedestrians on the street, leaving only some closed shops and beggars who hurriedly changed places to escape the cold.

While the sky was still dark, Liu Qingcao got out of the ox cart, holding the ox rope in one hand and a piece of bread in the other, and walked carefully in front of the two children.

Liu Qingcao blocked the way of the two of them, and the two children raised their heads blankly and shyly, looking at this girl who was not much older than them.

Seeing that they were very defensive towards her, Liu Qingcao smiled softly.

"This is for you."

Liu Qingcao handed over the pancake in her hand, and the two little boys were stunned for two seconds, before Liu Qingcao could speak again, the two quickly took the pancake from her hand, so fast that Jiang who was watching from the side Dafu was taken aback.

"Thank you kind people."

The two little boys grabbed the pancakes and ate them in their mouths before they said this sentence leisurely.

The little beggar who followed behind was five steps away from Liu Qingcao, looking at them like that, with white lips and trembling body, but his eyes were full of envy and entanglement.

After a long time, the two little boys ate half of the cake and put the remaining half in their arms. Turning their heads, they saw the person behind them with struggling expressions.

"Give!"

One of the little boys took out the pancakes he had put in his arms, and reluctantly took them out.

Jiang Dafu sat on the bull's head, sighing inwardly.

What a wonderful child, it would be a pity if he died like this in this winter!
"Give you."

The two boys took out the pancakes in their arms and distributed them to the five children who came behind.

After the five children finished eating, they still twitched their fingers and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Liu Qingcao looked at them, her heart was stung by something, and she hurriedly walked forward with some cakes.

"Are you willing to follow me back to the village and support yourself?"

The children looked at Liu Qingcao in fear, and when they saw the pancake in her hand, their gazes became hot.

"In our village, you can get copper coins by doing some work within your ability, and then buy delicious pancakes. Are you willing to go?"

Seeing their expressions moved, Liu Qingcao asked again.

The children stared at the cake in her hand without saying a word. The two older children on the side kept staring at Liu Qingcao's actions. After a while, they walked in front of Liu Qingcao.

"Is what you said true?"

One of the boys had the courage to look at Liu Qingcao with fixed eyes.

Liu Qingcao smiled and nodded firmly.

"Of course it's true, help us with work, five copper coins a day, go?"

The boy's clear and bright eyes looked at Liu Qingcao without blinking. After waiting for a long time, he spoke firmly.

"Let's go, we are not afraid of getting tired."

In fact, he was still afraid in his heart, afraid that Liu Qingcao would be a child, and they would be caught and sold for money, but if they didn't go with this girl, they still wouldn't be able to survive this winter, and would starve to death like the older brothers and sisters before. Died in a broken house.

He thought, instead of starving to death and freezing to death, it would be better to eat a full meal and then die.

"Okay, what about them, do you know each other?"

"Yes, they will go together, and they will not be able to live without us."

The boy nodded firmly and answered for them.

"Let's eat." Liu Qingcao gave them the pancakes in his hands, and Jiang Dafu carried them into the bullock cart and began to look for the next target.

Until late at night, Liu Qingcao and Jiang Dafu collected all the little beggars in Qianfeng Town, about forty or so, and the bullock cart couldn't fit, so Liu Qingcao asked the older ones to follow the bullock cart, and waited. When you get tired from walking, exchange them again, taking turns.

Because some people can only walk with their legs, the original journey of more than an hour took two and a half hours to reach the entrance of Shihe Village.

Liu Qingcao and Jiang Dafu also walked back all the way, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a familiar place.

"Brother Jiang, are your legs okay?"

Seeing that he was walking a bit stiffly, Liu Qingcao frowned slightly.

That's good, just toss like this, I'm afraid I'll get hurt again.

Liu Qingcao sighed, took out the kettle, poured some spiritual spring water into it, and handed it to Jiang Dafu.

"Brother Jiang, drink some of this water. I soaked it with angelica. Your legs will feel better after drinking it."

Jiang Dafu secretly weighed his feet. He really felt that his legs were a little uncomfortable. He took Liu Qingcao's water bottle without politeness, and drank it.

After drinking the water in the pot, Jiang Dafu felt that his legs were not so stiff, and he called out the magic of this angelica water in his heart.

Liu Qingcao saw the surprise in his eyes, smiled, and led Niu'er to the front.
